Hi

I have had RA since I was 27 and am now 57. I was also dx with MS about 7

year ago.. Then after going to the nuerologist for 5 years running every 3

months I was discharged 2 years ago and told I didnt have MS ..duh!.. I still

have all the same symptoms I had when I was dx with it even now....

Hi Everyone.

Just wondering who has been diagnosed with both of these conditions? I

was diagnosed with RA in early January of this year, Sjogren's of June this

year, and now Multiple Sclerosis 1.5 weeks ago.

Any insight into how common it is to have them all would be greatly

appreciated!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Joyce:

RA and MS can have some overlapping symptoms, so it can be

difficult to diagnose. I had symptoms for a little while, but I just blamed

them all on the RA or as a side effect of my meds. After 2 visits to the

ER, 2 Neurological exams, CAT scan and an MRI, I finally have a

diagnosis. I need to have another set of MRI's done and a spinal tap to

determine what type of MS I have.

Do you still feel like you have MS even though it seems to be in a

remission???

Thanks for posting,
